The towel that I offer in one of my drop shelf vendors is essentially a big paper towel folded up. Kleen Rite offers some cloth towels for vending - does anyone have a towel vending recommendation?

Thans for the assistance.

I get two of my towels from Sams. Microfiber towels in the 25 pack and Terry Cloth towels in a pack of 50 I believe. The terry cloth costs about 29 cents per, the microfiber is about 43 cents the last time I bought them.

I also vend the 50 cent blue sham and a green towel from Kleen Rite. The sham and the terry cloth are my best sellers. The green towel is the worst.

What you describe sounds like a disposable sham. If you want something else I'd go with the terry cloth.

I went with the most expensive paper towel Kleen-Rite offers and vend them at $1 in place of the 50? towels. Sales have dropped a bit, maybe 20%, but net profit from them has doubled.

I was also selling the Sam's terry towels for 50? and switched that vendor to blue surgical towels for $1 - sales have dropped by about a third, but again the net profit has doubled.

The most common car wash towel is essentially a big paper towel folded up.

I use the Kleen rite cloth towels. Big Seller.
The Sam's terry towels are 1" by 1" smaller, about the same quality and are half the price. The only drawback is that they're not packaged for spiral vendors.

Thanks. I'll check out the Sam's club towels. Are they in the area with cleaning supplies or what?

I also sell the Sam's terry and microfiber towels. Customers like them and don't throw them on the ground as I experienced when I used to vend paper towels.

At all the local Sam's I've been to, they're always close to the softener salt, tools and automotive stuff.
